Turning Goodwill finds into Gold

May 16, 2012 By Katie

So as you all know I am in to Goodwill and chalkboard paint these days..lol

I have for you my newest favorite Goodwill find. I often like to go into Goodwill to grab T-shirts for myself and my son, and on this particular day I went in to grab some books. Instead, I came out with a chair and a picture frame.  If you look hard enough, it’s amazing the things you’ll find. I paid three bucks for this really cute chair and five for the frame. So eight dollars and some change later, I have an awesome piece on my front porch and a chalk board hanging in my kitchen!

First off I LOVE green. It has to be one of my all time favorite colors. So when I saw this chair from across the store I seriously saw myself running in slow motion to it. My husband will tell you, I stopped all traffic to quickly nab it! I even made him carry it around the store for me 😉

I didn’t have to do much to the chair. I literally painted the back support slats with the chalk board paint, let it dry and wrote “The Whitaker’s” on it. I put it on my front porch and put a plant on top and there you have it. I think it looks awesome. It would also make a great inexpensive gift..hmm!!

I’m keeping it short and sweet today..this Mommy is busy! Good day all..
